Barrel shortening

Hi guys, about 18 months ago I purchased a Howa heavy barrel varmint in.223 ,the barrel is 24" long and l believe it is number 6 profile. Due to recent health issues I am now finding this combo difficult to lug around the fields. Thinking of 2 options either trade in for lightweight rifle or get barrel shortened to 20" to reduce weight.i know i would lose some velocity but would shortening effect accuracy..what do you guys think would be best..

Thanks.
